Understanding Earlobe Repair
Many individuals experience torn, split, or enlarged earlobe holes resulting from prolonged jewelry wear or accidental injuries. These conditions can impact personal confidence and prevent comfortable jewelry wearing. Réviance Plastic Surgery offers specialized earlobe repair procedures designed to restore ear aesthetics and patient self-assurance.
Procedure Overview
Earlobe repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by double board-certified facial plastic surgeons Dr. James Chan and Dr. Haena Kim. The technique varies based on individual earlobe damage, with approaches including:
- Flap technique to minimize scarring
- Precise suture placement
- Customized surgical approach depending on tear location
Surgical Process
The procedure is conducted under local anesthetic, ensuring patient comfort. Surgeons carefully excise damaged tissue and meticulously repair the lobe using precise suturing techniques. The primary goal is achieving a natural, symmetrical ear appearance.
Recovery and Expectations
Patients can anticipate approximately 10 days of recovery. Mild soreness and temporary swelling are normal post-surgical experiences. Following the surgeon's detailed post-operative instructions helps ensure optimal healing and minimal scarring.
Important Considerations
Patients interested in re-piercing should discuss timing and technique with their surgeon during the initial consultation. Medical history review and potential medication adjustments are standard pre-surgical protocols.
Cost and Consultation
Réviance Plastic Surgery offers personalized consultations to discuss individual treatment plans, potential costs, and financing options. Patients are encouraged to verify insurance coverage with their providers.
